Waiting to find out about sprinklers for fire suppression. Building doesn't have them. Need to see if it is going to impact occupancy to the point that it isn't worth it. But location is great. Higher end, rent-wise, than we wanted but not to the point that it isn't doable.

Prague is a gorgeous city. It is very compact and walkable. You won’t need a car to get around.

So how do I deal with this. Looking at a space and planning for the town says I need sprinklers... however, talking to the Fire Marshal for the town, he says no, I don't. There are two other breweries in the same town. NEITHER has sprinklers. I really want this space... but sprinklers needing to be installed is a major financial deal breaker.

Is corporate counsel on board yet? I'd think this would be a quick phone call or two.

Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right

JMHO... Fire Marshal should trump planning. Plus precedent in two other places (one with occupancy of 70+ and opened in the last 12 months) should be enough to get past it IMHO. Going to have to hire a lawyer at some point anyhow. Also going to also work with the IDA to see if they can help us get this worked out. Worst case, I have a friend that used to be on the town board and now a county legislator, who might be able to move it forward if we hit a sticking point. I want to be safe, but if the FM is cool with no sprinklers it should indicate a fairly high level of safety.

I am trying to figure out why in the heck I am still up. Brewday starts at 8AM with a double batch (Milk Stout and Pumpkin Porter). I worked from 9A until midnight tonight. Oh well, sleep is overrated.
